A FASCINATING LOCAL EAST LANCS HISTORY FORUM. Take a look around, there's lots here on womens stories in the mills, people who were members of the ILP and the Clarion Cycling Club and more.
I plan to join in the discussions - this is a superb insight into our local history round here.
Check out local historian Stanley's piece here on the ILP and the Clarion - superb. I must get in touch with Stanley. Fred, do you know him. Thought you'd be particularly interested in this (when you return from surfing down in Cornwall - twitter).
